INSERTION TIPS FOR INVITATION AND OTHER ENCLOSURES
In the past, tissues were used to guard against ink smears. Today's printing methods don't require tissue but many brides continue to use it for the sake of tradition. If you wish to include tissue, place it over the printing of the invitation.
The invitation should be inserted in the inner envelope with the folded edge first and the front of the invitation facing the flap. Enclosures are inserted facing the flap, in front of the invitation-the reception invitation first, then the reply card under the flap of the reply envelope behind it and any other enclosures.
The inner envelope should not have any adhesion on the flap.
Make up one completed invitation packet with all enclosures and take to the post office to weigh. Purchase the appropriate postage.
After the enclosures and invitation have been placed in the inner envelope, this envelope is placed in the outer envelope. The names should be facing the flap. Seal the outer envelope with a glue stick for a nice, clean seal and mail. Be sure to check each envelope before sealing to make sure it contains the invitation and all enclosures.
Take your invitations to the post office and ask them to “hand cancel” them so they don’t run through the postal machines and possibly crunch or smear your envelopes.
Following these tips, your guests will receive a beautiful, perfect invitation.
